Biography
I launched faith to Art a year ago with the aim of uniting my Christian faith with a lifelong love of landscape painting. As a Christian landscape artist, my passion is to share my joy at God’s creation through art. I believe the creative energy artists possess is a gift from God and my painting is an act of worship.
When creating the logo for faith to Art, I combined simple landscape shapes with a sunrise to represent the daily gift of hope and light to the world.
My mission is to gently encourage others to acknowledge our creator and potentially plant a seed of faith.
Psalm 9:1 is a true expression of my inspiration
“I will praise you, O Lord, with all my heart, I will tell of your wonders” Psalm 9:1
inspiration
Landscape is my inspiration, from majestic mountains in Snowdonia, dramatic coastal scenery to my local countryside, I feel more alive when outdoors, observing the changing seasons, sky, atmosphere and light, the forms and shapes of trees, fields, and hills.
I first started painting landscape images whilst at Coventry Art College, completing a Degree in Fine Art in 1992.
Subsequently, the pressures of work and family life only left time to sketch on holidays. I developed a love of painting landscapes outdoors with watercolours, enjoying the spontaneity of the medium. 10 years ago, with more time for myself, I started regularly painting and sketching in my surrounding countryside.
One special place for me is Hartshill Hayes Country Park, with its rolling hills, farmland and woods. I am so at peace here and feel blessed to paint the sunrise in winter, bluebells in spring and autumn colours in the trees and fields.
medium
My paintings begin “en plein air”, either gathering sketches or working directly onto canvas. I respond instinctively to the colours and forms before me, experiencing an emotional and spiritual connection to the landscape. Its important for me to create a sense of place and capture elements of weather and atmosphere in my paintings.
My current practise when starting a new painting, is to take a few moments to reflect, pray and invite God to come alongside in my creative process. These precious moments give me a strong vision and inspiration for the painting.
I work in a range of mediums, including oils, acrylics, pastels, collage and watercolour and enjoy experimenting with mark making, expressive colour, composition and techniques of applying paint. I usually finish works in the studio, working from sketches, memory and imagination.
